Hi everyone I'm new to this so thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Nicola (Nic) and I'm 12 weeks tomorrow. It's my first pregnancy and due on 10th may. We have our 12 week scan this afternoon. This is an IVF pregnancy seeing as though my partner is a girl so it's really magical for us (it's her egg). I live in England, where are everyone else from? I am suffering from horrendous morning/all day sickness and am signed off work as I can't even drive without being sick. I'm even resorting to taking tablets for it which I swore I wouldn't do. Hope everyone's ok
Hi All! I'm a little late to the party, but just hit 13 weeks today and starting to tell people. This is my second pregnancy- I have a 2 year old son. We were trying for about 8 months and thrilled when I tested positive. I told my husband the first day of school (he is a teacher). Good luck to all of you out there for healthy pregnancies and little ones!
Are you a first time mom?If not, how many little ones do you have? First timer
How did you tell your SO? First time I told him a fun way (but later I had a m/c). I put a message in a fortune cookie saying "I'm Pregnant". His reaction was fantastic! This time we looked at the pregnancy test together because we were set to start our first IUI cycle as soon as period arrived. But the test was positive, YAY!
I would say about a year. My DH and I were trying for a while and I was getting discouraged. I actually stopped following my ovulation apps because I was getting bummed out. We went on a little camping trip on labor day and VIOLA! Definitely wasn't expecting it )
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have?
First time mom!
How did you tell your SO?
My husband was very adamant about having me NOT tell him by showing him the test. He didn't want to be handed something I peed on lol. So I bought a shirt for our little dog that said "big sis" on in and had her go up to him. He was playing video games and didn't even notice her for about a half hour. And when he did notice her he didn't put two and two together. He thought I got it from someone in my sorority. When I told him no he just went, "ah... ok" and went back to playing his game. I had to finally ask him, "Can you think of any other reasons why she might be wearing this?" and then it finally clicked.
Hi all, I'm due May 12, but already measuring big so maybe a bit sooner. We tried for about 4 months but I also had to have an HSG from a previous surgery and scar tissue when I was a teen. I'm a first time mom We don't know the sex yet but are very excited we find out Christmas week!
Been on here a while but just saw the little goober today on my first us so it finally feels real!
Got pregnant the second cycle we tried, first time ever being pregnant. My husband tried to get me to wait longer to test but couldn't hold out beyond 15 dpo. It was just a "guess what" moment, and I'd been talking about it so much he pretty much knew what it was instantly.
Due May 27th - thought I might be due a bit later than my lmp called for bc I thought I ovulated late but turns out we're exactly on track!
Hi everyone! So excited to be part of this community as we share our pregnancy journeys and stories! It really helps to know that you're not alone and we can all talk about ourselves in a safe environment! This is our first baby and we are due 05/09 - a day after my husband's birthday! It's all still sinking in and I'm quite nervous! Good luck to everyone!
I could have sworn I posted in here back in Septemver but I guess not....!
We got pregnant the 2nd month trying, and are excited to give DS a sibling (he just turned 1!). I told DH the day I found out in the middle of family photographs we had already had planned! I love that I have his smile captured forever. Due May 27!
Well.... This is baby#5 for us. We have four boys 10, 8, 5, 20 months. I'm due May 13th. I just started a new job and this sickness is crazy! I'm a fitness gooroo so I haven't gained yet and I'm 13.5 weeks (seriously a first for me). I told my husband by saying "are you ready to buy a bigger house and car?" I'm the blessed fertility girl who gets pregnant by laying down next to the hubs. I blame it on standing in th Myan Ruins in Mexico. (Claims fertility) This. Will. Be. Our. Last.
Hi! Started trying in August and bam success! Due date is May 25th
This will be our third blessing, Gisele is 5 and Malek is 2
My husband was coming home to help me on the computer, I printed out a cute card and placed it on the key board. He started to look at it and reading it...and freaked out in disbelief. I had just come home from the doctor and didn't tell him over the phone! He was shocked and happy and we cried!!
The hubby and I were definitely not trying to get pregnant. Came as a surprise 5 weeks later but we were overjoyed! The plan was to start trying the month we found out we were expecting. This is our first time and definitely enjoying it!
I actually told him over the phone because when I took the pregnancy test I expected it to be negative like the previous ones. I had no idea what his reaction would be but it was over the moon!
Expected due date is May 2, 2016 and we can't wait to meet the little peanut!
We tried for over 2 years to get pregnant with our first baby- we got pregnant in June 2014 and met our beautiful son Ryett on March 7 2015. This time we weren't "trying" yet but not preventing either.... I got KU in Sept. 2015
EDD May 25, 2015 I'll go in for my 13 week appt today!
I told my husband first with roses and a homemade card that read " Roses are red, Those test lines are Blue, In May you'll be a daddy of 2! I put the test in the card.
For close friends and Family we put our son in a homemade shirt that said big brother inside of Batman symbol
For Everyone else we announced on Halloween we went as skeletons and I had a baby skeleton on my belly!
Hey everyone! I didn't utilize these message boards with my first one but am excited to find community now!
How long did you try to get KU? We only officially tried for one month! My husband travels a lot so I told him if we really want this, he needed to stay home a week so we can focus! Of course he didn't say no!
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? This is baby #2, my first will be 2 in January
How did you tell your SO? I just sent him a pic of the pregnancy test! I was going to do something cute when he got home a few days later because he was getting on a plane, but I just couldn't wait.
How long did you try to get KU? 4 months but I had needed surgeries so it's been a long time coming... More like 2 years
Are you a first time Mom? Yes, so excited!
How did you tell your SO? I put together a gift box with baby books and a positive test and sat with him while he opened it. He was so surprised it took him a few minutes to realize what I was telling him.
So I'm a little late to the party, but here are my answers:
We made the choice to try for another this summer and then did our best to calculate ideal birth times (I'm a teacher). We are very lucky and only took one cycle for it to happen.
This will be our second, we have a son who will be 4 when baby comes.
DH and I took the test "together" so I didn't do much special to tell him, just showed him the test. Of course he was happy and proud of himself, lol
Due date is 5/27/16. Two days after school ends. So hopefully this one isn't early (DS was about 1.5 weeks early).
Super late to be adding her (again) but finally getting around to it!
Me: 29 husband is 30.
We have DD who is 2.5 and another DD almost 10 months old
After 2 surprises we threw birth control and the stress of it all out the window and decided to just reach 4 kids however we got there. My husband saw the pregnancy test before I did so he actually told ME we were pregnant.
Our EDD is May 5th. I was 2 weeks early with both our girls so we will see if I make it in to May with this babe or not.
We are also expecting in May! I used to be really active on the Bump during the infertility years (2011-2013), but since the twins were born, I didn't keep up with it...hmm I wonder why
Me and DH are 29. We have fabulous twin girls who are 20.5months old, 17 adjusted.
I weaned in July, but with my history of pcos, I wasn't concerned I would get pregnant. I was curious if I would have regular periods- something I've never had. I had a period July 11th...fast forward to September 30th. I felt like crap so I took a hpt. I was still peeing when the positive line appeared. THAT was a surprise. I came back to sleeping DH, who said, "why are you holding a pregnancy test?" I just nodded.
At that point I was 5.5weeks. We are so excited to be pregnant without going through the hassle and $$$ of infertility treatments this time around!! Very, very excited and grateful.
Due Date: May 28th. With my history of a preterm delivery and a classical c-section, our goal is 37weeks for a repeat c-section. So, I've been telling people that our due date is May 10th.
Mama to Three Girls: Twins born March 2014 at 26 weeks due to preterm labor and our 37weeker born May 9th, 2016!
Due May 2nd found out I got pregnant a little bit before my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to get pregnant. I think my due date is wrong though because of how developed he is already and when I got my last period
We have been married 15 years raised all our children had a double reversal 11 years ago.. The last think we expected was a positive pregnancy... We are over joyed and feel this Miracial baby is our blessing and we are embracing it... I am 18 weeks pregnant.. Edd: May 28th.
We weren't trying to get pregnant I just had a baby a year and a half ago, but the hubby was home for 3 months from work and we ended up with baby #3 on her way May 5th due date. I have an almost 8 year old and an almost 2 year old sons this Will be our first daughter! I told my husband over the phone and text him the picture of pregnancy test because he was back to work :-/
I did my pregnancy test while my husband was at work. And waited a week and took the 2nd one, both tests came back positive. So I put both in a ziplock bag and gave it to our youngest, our only daughter, 4 years old to give to her father. The look on his face was PRICELESS...
Hi Everyone! I'm a little late to TheBump.com game, but here I am!
I am 27 years old, my husband is 29 (I am so bad at these bump acronyms by the way!!). 2016 marks 10 years together, 4 years of marriage! We got pregnant in our fourth month of trying - this is our first! My little baby boy is due May 21st, 2016! I am 20 weeks, and that seems a little early for "nesting" but it's definitely happening. All I can think about is Baby-To-Dos, getting my house ready, researching everything in the world, and trying to be prepared as possible!! And it just came at me all of a sudden this week! I am so excited to get involved in this community in the next 5 months!
I took a test a couple of days before my missed period... my husband had been saying he "had a feeling" this was the month, and my painful breasts suggested he was right! I had planned to take the test that day and I woke up at 6am and took it! When it read "Pregnant", I ran upstairs and jumped on the bed and showed it to my husband. We were both SO excited and in disbelief! He is super logical, so of course he required that we wait an additional 10 days before taking another test before he felt 100% It's been a whirlwind since then, I can't believe we're halfway there!
I'm Vanessa, a first time mommy and it's a girl! My BD an I are thrilled! I'm also new in here so I hope I get the hang of this. My due date is May 29th
I am a first time Mom to be and so is BD. I'm 34 years old he's 37! We never imagined we'd everv have a family so we're thrilled to soon welcome our baby girl into our lives! Me and BD have been together 12 yrs. I'm almost 23 weeks pregnant and my baby bump is quite large, I love it! Im exited to be a part of this group and hope to hear from some of u ladies
My DH and I had actually stopped trying for over a year. We have had 8 pregancies with one being an ectopic in july 2014 and 6 being miscarriages. My first pregancy was one of twins sadly only one survived my DD. We are expecting a beautiful baby boy may 13, 2016.
